Insight into 3DS development
In an interview with Gamasutra about this weeks North American 3DS launch, Hideki Konno talked about how the 3DS came to be. As lead of the 3DS project, Konno worked with the likes of Iwata and Miyamoto to bring ideas to the handheld such as the StreetPass and SpotPass modes. According to Konno, having hardware developers and game makers in the same building is one of the reasons for Nintendo̵...
Poll: Are you buying the 3DS this week?
Opinions might have changed since we last asked a similar question, so I’ll ask again: {democracy:139}
Oh no! 3D deja vu!
I should have seen it coming, but when I pre-ordered Nintendogs….plus Cats, I was caught off-guard when the clerk asked, “Which version?” For some crazy reason, I’d assumed Nintendo had consolidated the line into one definitive volume this time around. The idea of releasing three different versions of Nintendogs was a charming idea back in 2005. But today, when we all know ...

3DS has a chip dedicated to…what?
Like fog? According to a rep for D3 Publisher, who are hard at work on 3DS title Dream Trigger 3D, the 3DS has a built in chip dedicated to building in-game fog effects. This fog chip should thrill anyone planning on making a lighthouse simulator for 3DS. All joking aside, I don’t exactly know why this was needed, but I hope developers start putting it to use right away regardless. Imagine ...
Have 3DS questions? Infendo Radio has answers!
If it weren’t for the NCAA tournament, I would have already logged a dozen 3DS hours since first receiving it yesterday. Nevertheless, I’ve spent several hours with the hardware and four launch games to form some initial opinions that are, of course, subject to change. Things like what are the best games, fun facts, and eye fatigue. Derek plans to grill me on those questions and more t...

Does he have a name?
That 3DS commercial does feature a Nintendo character after all–a brand new one! Personally, I can’t wait to see this guy bursting out of my coffee table. But, does he have an official name? If not, I vote for “Cuddles.” Is it possible to put the AR card on a friend’s chest and recreate the dinner party from Alien? Does Bowser have some competition? And is anyone else...
